Leeds Supertram

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport pursuant to his statement of 3 November 2005, OfficialReport, columns 60–62WS, on Leeds supertram, what funding his Department plans to provide for a Leeds rapid bus scheme.
Answer

We expect to put significant investment into transport in West Yorkshire in the coming years. We are talking to West Yorkshire passenger transport executive about working up proposals for a Leeds rapid bus scheme, and we expect advice on regional priorities in January, so it is too early to say what the funding will be.
